A posteriori Variational Multiscale Methods for the 1D convection-diffusion equations by Chacón Rebollo, Tomás, Domínguez-Delgado, Antonio, Gómez Marmol, Macarena

“…We present an extension of this technique to nonlinear convection-diffusion equations (a traffic model), providing an efficient method for the resolution of shocks from just the Galerkin solution at targeted times. We also present a residual-based “a posteriori” VMS filtering, that provides quite accurate stable solutions, can be extended to multi-dimensional problems, and can be applied locally. …”

Coordination strategies to improve COVID-19 PCR laboratory testing scale up in Nepal: An analysis. by Hannah Bakker, Arunkumar Govindakarnavar, Parvathy Krishnan Krishnakumari, Joaquim Gromicho, Fannie L Côté, Nadia Lahrichi, Priya Jha, Saugat Shrestha, Rashmi Mulmi, Nirajan Bhusal, Deepesh Stapith, Runa Jha, Lilee Shrestha, Dhamari Naidoo, Reuben Samuel, Victor Del Rio Vilas

“…In this retro-perspective simulation of SARS-CoV-2 testing in Nepal during 2021, we evaluate the impact of coordinated sample transfers on reducing laboratory stress and wait times during demand peaks. Our findings reveal that centralized coordination and strategic partnerships for sample transfers significantly enhance diagnostic network performance, even under high demand. …”

Case Report - Severe hypospadias in 46, XY karyotype patients: is third level genetic testing always mandatory? by Giorgia Romano, Giovanni Rollo, Lorna Spagnol, Mafalda Mucciolo, Ottavio Adorisio, Massimiliano Silveri

“…While genetic investigation isn't routine for all severe hypospadias cases, Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technologies have influenced the rate of correct diagnoses, reduced diagnostic delay, and helped to determine the need for focused medical care and timely treatment. Too commonly, surgeons tend to attach importance to malformation repair and disregard the genetic diagnoses, but we believe that precise genetic diagnosis improves the accuracy of DSD management in terms of prognostic predictions, the development of an individualized management plan and the determination of treatment options.…”
